Having a good breakfast is truly an awesome goodness to start the day. When I headed to work while I was attached to the university, I never failed to have my breakkie at Pun Chun Noodle house located at Ara Damansara. This post is a collection of few mornings captured through my Iphone, true I am a addictive and a dedicated customer when the food is good. For instant their BBQ Pork Egg Noodle is just a mouth pleasing while their awesome Wanton is something not to miss out, very sizeable and filled with well marinated cubes of prawn and minced pork.

Last week we attended another Chinese New Year get together and this time we were at the famous Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant located at Capital Square, near by Dang Wangi KL. This is a great restaurant as it is always packed during office lunches during the weekdays and quiet a good crowd even for dinner. I got informed that this restaurant is famous for it’s roast duck and their main restaurant is located in London, therefore having to indulge it here in KL, it was truly awesome.

About twelve of us sat anxiously waiting for the meal to be served that night as we were readily to indulge ourself with their newly created dish for the Chinese New Year called ‘Poon Choi’. I was excited about this as I had not been able to get hold of such a dish in KL as not many places do offer such luxuriousity except one in Sungai Buluh.

It is another weekend morning marketing at my regular wet market at SS17, Petaling Jaya where I stumbled upon a very interesting vegetable, baby leek bulbs. This is the first time that I had seen such unique and interesting, baby leek bulbs and yet do not know what to do with them. An elderly lady who was standing beside me insisted that I should dry stir fried them with tofu to bring out the full flavour of the baby leek bulbs. She also teached me just to use the bulbs and discard the stems. It really sounded interesting and tasty. She taged way with 2kg of this baby leek bulbs as her son loves them. After overwhelming by her lust, I too immediately bought 1kg of this baby leek bulbs. I also picked up a packed of japanese seaweed tofu from the market.

Japanese Seaweed Tofu

The japanese seaweed tofu looks great, not soft and well suitable for stir frying. I had them cut into cubes and deep fried. By doing this I will able to have a crunchy texture of tofu and also easy to stir fry them within seconds.
